@browndognotnow That sounds like a good plan.

Are there plans to remove the remaining bowel, rectum, and anus? I don't think its necessary unless you have disease in the rectum - I had Crohn's Disease, so I did have everything out, my anus removed and now I have "Barbie Butt".

@susanf8 good question. I wish I knew. My surgery was done on an emergency basis by a general surgeon in Feb. I have not been able to see a colorectal surgeon yet. On referral list but am told no apt available. VERY FRUSTRATING
